The action
This mansion was converted into six condo suites in the 1990s.Royal LePage Real Estate Services Heaps Estrin Team
This former mansion near Sir Winston Churchill Park was converted into six separate condominium suites in the 1990s. The last one sold in 2013, so it was assumed that listing this two-storey unit early March would draw significant interest. Only 10 potential buyers came through the unit before the sellers accepted a $1.35-million offer by the day’s end.
“[Boutique suites] come up occasionally, but it’s certainly worth the wait,” agent Megan Till-Landry said.
“We were lucky with timing on this listing. While COVID-19 was beginning to surface, it had not yet impacted the real estate market.”
